Narrative:

On a training flight in the vicinity of andover aeroflex airport, with a student, I decided to land at andover with my student to show him what a real short field looked like. After overflying the airport to verify the runway and txwys were clear of snow, I proceeded to enter right traffic for runway 3. I touched down and while taxiing back for takeoff, I was stopped by a worker clearing snow from the ramp area. He notified me that the airport was notamed closed. I was unaware of this, and apologized for the error. I also informed him that I announced on the unicom (122.8) with no answer. I then departed the airport. To summarize: I landed at an airport that was notamed closed. There was no 'X' on the runway and it was clear of snow. After self-announcing and hearing no reply, I decided to land.
